If I do:
Me.myCrystalReportViewer = New CrystalDecisions.Windows.Forms.CrystalReportViewer and then: Me.myCrystalReportViewer.InitReportViewer() If I right-click on it, and click Go To Definition, there is no description or documentation anywhere for "InitReportViewer". It just says: Public Overridable Sub InitReportViewer() Member of: CrystalDecisions.Windows.Forms.CrystalReportViewer which is already 100% obvious. I'm looking for an event to tell me when the report is done loading... This page says nothing about InitReportViewer: http://www.crystalreportsbook.com/Crystal_Reports_Net_Ch14_3.asp |

I fixed it with the following work around:
Me.Cursor = Cursors.WaitCursor Me.Show() myCrystalReportViewer.ReportSource = ReportNameValue myCrystalReportViewer.RefreshReport() myCrystalReportViewer.Show() Me.Cursor = Cursors.Default I'm using the VBnetPARAMVIEWER sample. I just wanted to add a ****ing hourglass. I noticed that it wasn't running the report if the viewer was not Shown... EDIT: This works good if you don't have parameters... if you do and try to use just "Refresh" it doesn't work anymore. Looks like

WITH parameters, this works (for the PARAMVIEWER sample from BO; I've been trying to add an hourglass)
Me.Cursor = Cursors.WaitCursor Me.Show() myCrystalReportViewer.Hide() myCrystalReportViewer.ReportSource = ReportNameValue myCrystalReportViewer.ParameterFieldInfo = myParams myCrystalReportViewer.ShowFirstPage() Me.Refresh() myCrystalReportViewer.Refresh() myCrystalReportViewer.Show() Me.Cursor = Cursors.Default WITHOUT parameters, this works better than my previous fix: Me.Cursor = Cursors.WaitCursor Me.Show() myCrystalReportViewer.Hide() myCrystalReportViewer.ReportSource = ReportNameValue myCrystalReportViewer.ShowFirstPage() Me.Refresh() myCrystalReportViewer.Refresh() myCrystalReportViewer.Show() Me.Cursor = Cursors.Default |
